Woodley told
ESPN.com on Tuesday that the UFC has “offered” Diaz the fight
and that “If I had to bet the house on it, that’s my next
opponent.” That prompted dos Anjos to criticize the reigning
welterweight champion on social media.

[Tyron Woodley] man up and stop talking about [a] fight that makes
no sense,” dos Anjos wrote on Twitter. “Everyone knows that I’m the
real contender. You want to fight a guy that has never beat a real
welterweight in his life.” Shame on you…”

@TWooodley
man up and stop talk about fight that make no sense, everyone know
that I'm the real contender. You want to fight a guy that has never
beat a real welterweight in his whole life. Shame on you...

Dos Anjos, the former lightweight champion, moved up to 170 pounds
last year and posted victories over Tarec
Saffiedine, Neil Magny
and Robbie
Lawler. UFC President Dana White recently said that dos Anjos
would be
next in line to face Woodley as soon as the champion recovered
from shoulder surgery.

Diaz, meanwhile, has not fought since losing a majority decision to
Conor
McGregor at UFC 202 in August 2016. The Stockton, Calif.,
native owns three victories at welterweight in UFC competition:
McGregor (UFC 196), Marcus Davis
(UFC 118) and Rory
Markham (UFC 111).
